Unfortunately, Quirks mode is required by the spec. See Item 6 under "Compliance" at http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/spec.html.
This issue has been brought up numerous times in the past, but there hasn't been a resolution on it yet. The only reason for this is that many (if not all) existing gadgets have to be updated to use standards mode since the original iGoogle site used quirks mode. Many people (myself included) have attempted to move it towards standards mode, but so far nobody's come up with a viable solution for backwards compatibility. ~Kevin On Feb 8, 2008 7:27 PM, Paul Lindner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've started to clean up my crude unit test application into something > much better.
